It was twenty years ago today

This pony came into my life.

She’s been beside me ever since

Through good times and through strife.

I’m thankful for her partnership

In work and love and play.

The gifts she’s repeatedly given me

I can never completely repay.

That she changed my life completely,

There is absolutely no doubt.

Despite that, I can honestly say

It couldn’t have better turned out.

I‘m honored and I’m humbled

Every time she nickers ‘hi.’

I hope it’s quite a long time

Before I have to say goodbye.
